Rolle Gottes im Freiheitsbegriff von Epiktet
Epiktet sieht im Erreichen der Freiheit die höchste Erfüllung des menschlichen Daseins. Die Freiheit eröffnet sich für ihn als einzige erstrebenswerte Möglichkeit, die Verbindung zwischen ihm, als Teil des Logos, und dem ganzen Logos herzustellen und aufrechtzuerhalten. Aus der Perspektive der Herkunft ist der Logos die Ursache für die menschliche Freiheit. Aus der Perspektive des Zieles ist bedeutet er eine authentische Einheit des Menschen mit sich und dem Kosmos. Der Heilsplan, den Gott nach Lukas in Jesus Christus ausgeführt hat, involviert die Partizipation gegnerischer menschlicher Faktoren, die paradoxerweise dazu führen, dass der Plan sich letztendlich vollzieht.

La partecipazione dell’uomo, in particolare della Genitrice di Dio, all’unica mediazione di Cristo nella luce del numero 60 della Costituzione dogmatica Lumen gentium
The number 60 of Lumen gentium summarizes a fireplace carefully prepared by six Popes, (from Pp. Leo XIII up to John XXIII), in which we can identify the desire of the Church to better understand the relationship between man and divine grace and the eventual possibility of man to participate actively. We propose to outline and ask ourselves about the ability or otherwise of man to participate in the unique mediation of Christ as well as the role of the Mother of God, as a perfect image of participated mediation in Christ.

L’erezione del Vescovado di Jassy (27 giugno 1884) e gli inizi della nouva diocesi
This article deals with the establishment of the Episcopate of Iasi (June 27, 1884), with highligh on the personality of the first bishop (Nicolae Iosif Camilli) and his pastoral activity. Nicolae Iosif Camilli was an apostolic vicar for Moldavia at the time of his appointment as the first bishop of Iasi. The study also presents the first activity of the first bishop of Iaşi, with focus on his most important work: the establishment of the Diocesan Seminary „St. Joseph” in Iaşi, at the helm of which Bishop Camilli put in charge some Jesuits from Poland. However, this was not to the liking of his Franciscan brothers nor to that of the Superior General of the Franciscan Order. Therefore, after 10 years of pastorate, the first bishop of Iasi resigned in 1894, and the Catholics of Moldova were then led by Săbaoani parish priest Caietan Liverotti as an apostolic administrator until the following year when the Holy See appointed the Swiss Franciscan Dominic Jaquet as Bishop of Iaşi.

Mario GIRARDI: „L’amore carattere proprio del cristiano”: le origini della spiritualità identitaria di s. Basilio

Monastic fraternities appeared as a consequence of the fact of being aware of the fundamental role that the Gospel must play in the life of every Christian. The author of this article shows that love must be the characteristics of truly Christian life, and among those that understood this there are two initiators of community life: saint Basil the Great and saint Benedict of whose rules represented a richness for the spiritual life of Church. The present article underlines that love is the peculiar characteristic of Christians and that saint Basil the Great fundaments this teaching on the Holy Bible, especially on the writings of the apostle Paul.

Vittorio POSSENTI: Fondamenti religiosi e laici della democrazia

Analyzing the phenomenon of democracy, Vittorio Possenti exposes the religious and laical fundaments of democracy. A true democracy that wishes to open the borders of a civilized world must maintain the feeling of affiliation to the humanity. The author thinks that democracy must stay away from the temptation of fundamentalism, that must promote the person and not the forms of selfishness. The democracy needs religion if it wants an undiluted man (one can not deny to a man the religious dimension). The rights of man should be the main program of a democracy. The author underlines some of the democracy principles: treating the person as a purpose and not as a mean (the man is in the world but it not belongs to the world), forming a nation in which there are to be respected both natural low and positive low, responsible freedom, an ethics that encourages the common good, the participation to the public life. The article pleads for an equilibrated democracy that has in its center the person.

Ariel Álvares VALDÉS: De ce evanghelistul Ioan nu descrie exorcismele lui Isus?

The author of this article shows that exorcisms have always been shrouded in mystery, in which fantasy and curiosity have led to all sorts of fictions, mostly far away from the truth. But exorcisms are not parades, shows or sensations. They are a reality that must lead us to reflection to an objective regard about the forces of Evil. The synoptic Evangels presents six cases of exorcises but the Gospel of saint John keeps absolute quiet. John did not wish to make public the exorcisms of Jesus because these ones made him a lot of trouble. Jesus was seen mostly as healer, as a magician because during his time many Jews were practicing Egyptian magical exorcising rituals. In the end the article underlines the facts that saint John didn’t want to present exorcisms of Jesus in the Evangels he wrote, because he didn’t want Jesus to appear as magician but as a teacher and redeemer of the world.

Gravissimum educationis, în dialog cu P.S. José SARAIVA MARTINS

Catholic education has known an impressive development along the history. It has always been in the focus of the Church, mainly during the Second Vatican Council when it was discussed the necessity of reforming the spirit of education departing from the Gospel based Tradition. The interview points out these discussions and shows primarily the communitarian concept of the educational process in which the teacher-student empathy is essential for the formation both of the one that is educated and of the one that is educating.
